THE FINEST GAME.
"Without doubt, golf is the finest game there is," remarked Mr W. Bewley at a gathering of cricketers in New Plymouth recently. . "It briugs out," he added, "more good qualities than, any other game. You have to trust to a man's honour that he does not cheat. In golf, unless you trust a man he can't play, or should not. It is also a game requiring a great amount of skill. . . .
It is a sociable game, and at the sine time it is, fishing excepted—and fishing is hardly a game in the true sense of the word—the only game you can play by yourself. Golf is a game you <-an take up at any age. It has been the salvation of many elderly men. It is going to he the most universally played game in the world.- The only difficulty \.j that it is rather expensive, and that it is difficult to obtain suitable grounds."
